Reviews for Remembering and Imagining Palestine: Identity and Nationalism from the Crusades to the Present
'Remembering and Imagining Palestine , like Gerber's other works, males a valuable contribution to the field. Its arguments, which go beyond the those of Rashid Khalidi, are substantiated by his impressive bibliography which includes previously unknown Arabic praise literature from the Mamluks and Ottomans.' - Vivian Ibrahim, Nations and Nationalism
